Whatever screenwriter has Park Ji Eun has in store for her second fantasy themed K-drama Legend of the Blue Sea, it will certainly involve lots and lots of active acting from leading lady Jeon Ji Hyun. I thought she was the heart and soul of alien-movie star romance drama You From Another Star but she did merit some get some … Continue reading →
It takes a very confident actress to try for a role as demanding and fantastical as a mermaid, especially one spanning centuries from Joseon era to the modern day. Jeon Ji Hyun excels at confidence, even if wholly substantiated from hot air like her top star character in You From Another Star. She manages to bring the vulnerability and decency … Continue reading →
Jeon Ji Hyun has cornered the actress market on sassy and doesn’t look to relinquish the crown anytime soon judging from the previews showing her mermaid character giving Lee Min Ho‘s conman attitude in Legend of the Blue Sea.

I’ve tried not to make too many comparisons of Legend of the Blue Sea with screenwriter Park Ji Eun‘s last mega hit drama You From Another Star, but with the latest drama still release it fairly echoes a major plot point of YFAS. Leads Jeon Ji Hyun and Lee Min Ho narratively spend most of the drama in the modern … Continue reading →
Yay, new preview for Legend of the Blue Sea! Anything to wash away the muck and grime from the disappointment that is recently concluded Moon Lovers is fine by me.

New stills are out for the leads of Legend of the … Continue reading →
Much can be said about Legend of the Blue Sea being over-hyped, and certainly it’s harder to meet expectations when the interest is so high. I was underwhelmed by most of the writing in You From Another Star but I did appreciate that it took risks and went for a story about a top star in love with an immortal … Continue reading →
The beauty of Jeon Ji Hyun is going to be tested or affirmed once again in upcoming SBS Wed-Thurs drama Legend of the Blue Sea. And the answer is fast pointing to the latter, since playing a mermaid requires much salty water basking and so far she’s managed the feat of looking both ethereal and sultry. The teaser character posters … Continue reading →
Popular things cost more and are reasoned to be worth the price premium, so said premium would conceivably be doubled if it’s double the popularity to be acquired. News out of China says that upcoming SBS drama Legend of the Blue Sea is reportedly opening the bid for Chinese streaming rights at a whopping half a million per episode, with … Continue reading →
I figured Legend of the Blue Sea would be Jeon Ji Hyun‘s chance to cosplay as a mermaid. It’s not the first time K-dramas have presented this fantasy role, Jo Boa did a wonderful mermaid job in the wacky Surplus Princess,but that was cable and this is taking mermaid K-drama style to the big leagues in a prime time SBS … Continue reading →
Casting Jeon Ji Hyun as the spoiled top star in You From Another Star turned out to be a match made in casting heaven, and even seemed that way from the outset when it was announced.
